CLARA'S POV
After whatever happened between Arsenio and I happened and he put me back in my place by telling me I shouldn't assume anything, I was honestly heartbroken because I really did assume he was warming up to me.
I stayed put in my room as I laid on my bed and cried my eyes out.
I just couldn't understand why everyone that I had come across with never accepted me as their own and not even my own family.
Arsenio was kind enough to allow me to stay at his house and it was my responsibility to repay that kindness to him but I didn't understand why he kept on pushing me further away.
I stayed in my room for heaven knows how long until I heard yelling.
I got up quickly from the bed and went into Arsenio's room but couldn't find him there and so I walked down to the living room and saw a middle aged woman trying to touch Arsenio's face even when he asked her not to do it.
The first thought that got into my head was that he was trying to be abused by her and although I didn't know who she was, I could feel Arsenio's vulnerability around her because the Arsenio I knew would take action rather than yell at her.
As she was about to touch Arsenio's face again, I caught her hand.
“If he said he doesn't want to be touched, then don't touch him.” I said.
“Arsenio, who the hell is this one here???” The woman asked angrily.
“She is just a maid.” He said.
My heart further shattered into a million pieces but I had to accept the truth because I was indeed a maid.
“A maid, having such audacity to hold my hands from touching my son??”
“Son??? Oh no, I was in deep trouble.” I said to myself.
“Leave from here.” Arsenio said to me in anger.
“But, I….”
“I said fucking leave!!!!! Or I will do something to you right now that would send you far beyond this world.”
“No, don't send her away….she is an interesting one.” Arsenio's Mother said.
“You are also leaving too Adaline.” Arsenio said.
“No, I am not leaving actually….I came here to stay for a few days.”
Arsenio suddenly burst into laughter.
“Stay for a few days my ass!!!! I don't want to see you when I get back down.” Arsenio said as he grabbed my arm roughly and took me away.
“I am sorry sir, I didn't mean to do that.” I pleaded as I knew I was in deep trouble.
“Shut the fuck up!!!!” He yelled at me as he continued dragging me and when he got into his room, he locked the door from within.
“Sir, I am so sorry…I didn't know she was your Mother…what I did wasn't on purpose.”
“First of all, that witch is not my Mother and secondly, so you know what you did ???”
“I know what I did sir, and I am sorry.” I pleaded as tears gathered in my eyes.
Arsenio suddenly grabbed my face roughly as he glared at me.
“What is your deal??? Why are you always in my business Clara???”
“It was intentional sir….I swear to you, I didn't do it on purpose.”
“This is not the first time you are butting into my business and I am beginning to suspect you....are you a spy???”
“I am not a spy sir, please I beg of you…you are hurting me.” I pleaded as my face began to hurt.
“Tell me the truth right now Clara because if I find out the truth which I eventually will and that you lied to me, I will kill you without a second thought.”
“I promise sir, if I was a spy I would have told you from the very first time you saw me.”
“Then what was that about??” He asked.
“What was sir??”
“That stunt you pulled in the living room!!!!!”
“I thought she was bothering sir that's why I stepped in.”
“As my guardian angel???? Or what??”
“As nothing sir.” I said as tears rolled down my face.
“This is my final warning to you Clara, stay the fuck out of my business…. whatever I do and however I handle things is none of your concern so stay out of it…am I clear???”
“Y..yes..s..sir.”
He removed his hand from my face and glared at me.
I bowed my head as tears slipped down my face.
“Maledetto debole (fucking weakling)” he said as he pick up a vase from his room and threw it at the wall.
I suddenly closed my ears in fear as I cried more.
“Get lost!!!!” He yelled.
Without a second thought, I bolted out of his room straight into my room and cried my eyes out.
As much as I didn't understand why Arsenio was behaving like that with me, I had to accept my fate that I would never find anyone to love or accept me.
After crying for a few minutes, I stood up, freshened up and decided to resume my normal duties.
The best thing to do for myself was to concentrate on my work here and stay away from him as he said.
As soon as I got to the living room and was about to enter the kitchen, Arsenio's Mother stopped me.
“Please ma'am, I don't want any trouble…I apologize for the way I behaved earlier on and I won't do it again.” I pleaded.
She walked closer to me and was carefully observing my face like there was something on it.
“Did my son do that to you??” She asked as she kept on staring at my face.
“Do what to me??” I asked in confusion.
“Your face is slightly bruised and swollen.” She said.
I soon realized it must have been from the impact of his hand earlier on.
“I am sorry ma'am but I have to go now.” I said.
“Please wait!!!! Please.” She said.
I stopped in my tracks as I sighed deeply because I didn't want to get into trouble with Arsenio for talking to his Mother and at the same time, I didn't want to be rude.
“What happened??? Do you need something???”
“I need you to do a huge favor for me.”
